This disease remains endemic in China. Due to the large geographic area and complex ecological environment, the taxonomic position and phylogenetic relationship of Chinese <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic> isolates remain uncertain. A recent internal transcribed spacer 1 and cytochrome oxidase II phylogeny of Chinese <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic> isolates has challenged some aspects of their traditional taxonomy as well as cladistics hypotheses of their phylogeny. The current study was designed to provide further disease background and sequence analysis.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We systematically analyzed 50 cytochrome <jats:italic>b<\/jats:italic> (cyt <jats:italic>b<\/jats:italic>) gene sequences of 19 isolates (16 from China, 3 from other countries) sequenced after polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a special primer for cyt <jats:italic>b<\/jats:italic> as well as 31 sequences downloaded from GenBank.

The isolates GS1, GS7, XJ771 of this study from China clustered with other isolates of <jats:italic>Leishmania donovani<\/jats:italic> complex. The isolate JS1 was a sister to <jats:italic>Leishmania tropica,<\/jats:italic> which represented an <jats:italic>L. tropica<\/jats:italic> complex instead of clustering with <jats:italic>L. donovani<\/jats:italic> complex or with the other 10 Chinese isolates. The isolates KXG-2 and GS-GER20 formed a monophyletic group with <jats:italic>Leishmania turanica<\/jats:italic> from central Asia. In the different phylogenetic trees, all of the Chinese isolates occurred in at least four groups regardless of geographic distribution.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The undescribed <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic> species of China, which are clearly causative agents of canine leishmaniasis and human visceral leishmaniasis and are related to <jats:italic>Sauroleishmania<\/jats:italic>, may have evolved from a common ancestral parasite that came from the Americas and may have split off earlier than the other old world <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic>. Our results also suggest the following: the isolates GS7, GS1 and XJ771 occur as part of the <jats:italic>L. donovani<\/jats:italic> complex; the JS1 isolate is <jats:italic>L. tropica;<\/jats:italic> and the isolate GS-GER20 identified as <jats:italic>Leishmania gerbilli<\/jats:italic> is close to KXG-2 which is <jats:italic>L. turanica<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1756-3305-6-32","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,5]],"date-time":"2013-02-05T17:21:50Z","timestamp":1360084910000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Analysis of kinetoplast cytochrome b gene of 16 Leishmania isolates from different foci of China: different species of Leishmania in China and their phylogenetic inference"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Bin-Bin","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Da-Li","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian-Ping","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Su","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jia-Nan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"816_CR1","first-page":"22","volume-title":"Proceedings of a meeting of the WHO Expert Committee, Geneva, 22\u201326 March 2010","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2010","unstructured":"World Health Organization: Control of the leishmaniase.
